Activities in this teaching pack include differentiated worksheets to model and record how to convert pairs of fractions to the same denominators to compare different lengths using their lowest common multiples of the denominator numbers.

The interactive presentation gets the children to explore how to compare the lengths of materials using fractions by converting each fraction to use the same denominators.

This lesson is part of a maths scheme of work to get the children to model and record the steps that can be used to solve problems by adding and subtracting pairs of non-unit and mixed number fractions. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
